County IT Proposes No Capital Contribution for 2026–27; Reserve Seen as Sufficient but PeopleSoft Replacement Remains Uncertain
Summary
County finance and IT staff recommended at a budget workshop that the county make no capital replacement contribution for IT in 2026–27 because the IT reserve (about $3.9 million) already covers projected near‑term replacement needs.
At a county budget workshop, county finance and IT staff presented the methodology and proposed billings for the county’s IT cost allocation, recommended zero contribution to the capital replacement reserve for 2026–27, and flagged uncertainty around a future PeopleSoft replacement.
Kathy Funk Baxter, finance director, said the IT reserve “is sitting at a little bit over… $3,900,000,” while staff estimates the cost to replace most major pieces of equipment at about $3,200,000 in today’s dollars.
